MOTORCITY SEASON 2 MASTERPOST
once upon a time, over 10 years ago, just a few months after the announcement that Motorcity was officially canceled...the creators of the show took pity on their heartbroken fandom and gave us several glimpses of what season 2 might have been like. they saw how much we loved Motorcity and gave us every scrap of info they could at the time, so that we could use those scraps to imagine our own personal "Season 2" - whether it continue on in our fics, our fanart, or simply our own heads.
I'm making this masterpost so that none of this material will be lost or forgotten, and so any fanartists/fic writers still hanging around today can use it for inspiration. if there's any related material I've missed, PLEASE feel free to add it in a reblog or let me know in my inbox! I want this list to be as complete as we can make it! :)

Season 2 Writer's Wall
posted (and later deleted) by @chrisprynoski on twitter, and shared on tumblr by @peopleofmotorcity, these pictures of the writer's wall showed us a "rough sketch" of what could have been, and gave our imaginations SO many fun theories and possibilities to play with. every blurry sticky note was a treasure to us. :')

Chris Prynoski's Fan Interview + Tumblr Q&A's
this whole interview on youtube is a delight to listen to, and Part 2 in particular has some interesting bits about season 2. (skip to 17:10 for some good stuff about Texas and Chuck's backgrounds!)

-> Part 2
Chris P also answered several juicy season 2 questions on tumblr. sadly his blog is deactivated now, but you can still read through all of them at the links below!

Capri Chilton - Mike Chilton's long lost big sister!
I can't remember where or when it was first revealed that they were considering giving Mike a secret older sister, and I haven't been able to track down the origin. that being said, when it was revealed, the fandom loved the idea so much that they begged the creators to make it canon. Chris P busted out the "magical canon stick", gave us this delightful concept sketch, and "Capri Chilton" was born!

The Motorcity Series Bible (Pages 1-13)
"To help you all understand what it is you are reading, this is the material that Titmouse used to help pitch Motorcity, and it was also a tool for writers to use when coming up with episodes to help understand who the characters were before there was any other reference. That being said, this was one of the very first documents about Motorcity, so many things have changed or evolved from these early concepts." (x)

Motorcity Series Bible - Redacted Version (Pages 1, 2, 17, 19, 20)
funfact: @peopleofmotorcity was the official? unofficial? tumblr blog for Motorcity, and it was run by a guy named Mac - an animator for the show who loved to tease and joke around with the fandom. before revealing the actual first 13 pages of the series bible, he posted this censored version as a prank - a mix of truth and trolling! it's up to the fandom to decide which is which. ;)

Motorcity Viewing Order
Bonj-aloha, folks!
I'm a little over halfway through Motorcity (episode 12) and I've just realized that the order in which I'm viewing the episodes was probably not the intended viewing order. Thanks to @zombiezonk for letting me know! I'd heard that something wonky happened with the airing of the show, but I thought the episodes were numbered in the order the studio intended them to be viewed.
I found possibly the correct viewing order on a post by @peopleofmotorcity, and I think maybe from this point forward I'll follow that viewing order?
Conveniently, the first twelve episodes are not swapped with any of the last eight, so I can switch very easily from this point. You can see in the little chart all of the episodes I've watched (green) and episodes I haven't watched (red).
As @zombiezonk pointed out, Chuck's arc makes a lot more sense with Ride of the Fantasy Vans after Fearless and Blond Thunder, and looking at this chart I can also see a little more narrative logic in delaying Vendetta; the reveal of Mike's history with Kane has a bigger impact with a little more time to build up.
So I think I'm going to watch Reunion next instead of Mayhem Night - if anybody has input about whether or not that's a good idea, I'd absolutely love to hear from you!

Katrina Ruzics suddenly posted this Mike/Julie mock-board on her YT, more Motorcity content in this hellscape of a planet is always appreciated these days.. According to Mckenzie Kerman (animator who led the peopleofmotorcity blog) Ruzics animated up to 24k frames on the show.

So, here's a master plan that I'm going to yell into the void. I became aware online yesterday that we can pester Disney+ by suggesting Motorcity as a show we'd want on their platform... I did it on all my devices, I got a bunch of friends irl to do it on their devices too. If we bug 'em enough, we might see Motorcity finally come to Disney+. That'll bring this show into the light more, make the active fandom happy, remind the old fans about this show, and maybe gain more fans. The Motorcity fandom innitially seemed sparse after all these years, but I realized that it's just dormant 'cause I keep finding more and more people who miss this show (they just don't post about it anymore). No clue if this will actually work, but I can dream.

Hello, I was wondering if you could post a full size version of the concept board you shared close ups of from that ask a couple weeks ago? I would really like to see the whole thing (and inspect every inch of it lol) Sorry if you only have those closeups, I just wanted to ask just in case :)
Those are all I’ve got my dude, sorry! TuT Those are taken directly from posts by peopleofmotorcity, who worked on the show and was kind of the showrunners’ contact point on tumblr? I don’t have any special insider knowledge, and I would also love to see a full size high res version haha.

2 versions of Thanos meme | Motorciry episode 5: Vendetta
you know I reckon that guy called Red just has a blind hatred since his house was ruined not by Mike but Kane’s cadets/subordinates (Mike just tried to save the residents of Motorcity)
p/s after 7 years I found this masterpiece *cries
so I’m gonna fight for Motorcity
